Thoroughly enjoyable read. A book about Obstetrics, riding accidents, birth, rebirth, love and lost love, the search for healing, and the fragility of our souls. A very absorbing story, told beautifully.

This is a wonderful book. An OBGYN escapes her life after a delivery goes terribly wrong. She returns home to Calif. and ends up working for a Dressage Judge at an equestrian center. Calif. is where the dr. grew up riding her Olympic level dressage horse before the horse met his own very bad fatal accident. Learn how the pregnant woman's husband, dressage judge and this doctors lives are all intertwined, in part mystery, part love story, part finding onesself. Very satisfying ending too.
